The problem with the industrial diesels is that they're *HEAVY* for the power output.

And, an 800 cc industrial diesel, you're looking at around 20 hp assuming watercooled, until you turbo it.

For diesels, the 800 cc 3-cyl used in the Smart ForTwo is an excellent choice - very lightweight with good power density and emissions compliance.
